How heavy of Dia should a 36" barrel be?

Just thinking ahead for my next project.I'm going to go with a 36" Hart barrel in one of the big .30 cals.Still tossing the caliber thing back and forth.I have never had a barrel over 30" and was just wondering what the minimum diameter of a 36" barrel should be,This barrel will be blocked.

Just checked and you are correct,Hart only goes to 30".Thanks for the info,I guess choice #No 2 will be Lilja and they do go over 30" and they will only do a barrel over 30"(.30 Cal) in a 1-10 twist which is what I want.

Check out Mike Rock barrels. I have heard many good things about his barrels and know that they hold several world records, all in long range shooting. Each one is hand lapped twice, both before and after the 5R single point cut rifling. They make a barrel as long as you want it and will do any rate of twist for no extra charge. They will be making my next barrel.
Give Mike a call and he can give you further information. 608-574-2111
